Abstract

A tubular crossmember for a vehicle frame having spaced apart rails (12, 14). The crossmember includes an 'X' shaped member (18, 20) and two elongated members (18, 20). Ends of legs of the 'X' shaped member are constrained to ends of the elongated members. The two elongated members (18, 20) are parallel and are spaced apart by the 'X' shaped member. The tubular crossmember (26, 28) is adapted to be connected to rails to construct a vehicle frame.
